Hi folks!

So I recently bought my first ball python at a reptile expo, and bought a little male Het Piebald. I never really thought about whether he was 50% or 100% or 66% or anything, because honestly, I've never considered breeding. I'm just a "bit" of a science nerd, and maybe because its 1:15am, I have myself a little confused

The little container he came in did not specify "percentage" of het piebald. I clearly remember him talking about how one of the snakes he bred was piebald, and he got no piebald offspring, and they were all male so he was really trying to sell them. Now, if one parent was Piebald, this would make the offspring 100% het, correct? Where as if both parents were Het, he could possibly only be 50%?

My little guy has the "black stripe" marker if you buy into that, and like I said, it's more a curiosity thing to me than a genuine "did I get what I paid for" type of thing. Just wanted to see if I had my thoughts in order, assuming that he is 100% Het for Piebald because one of his parents was Piebald.

Thanks for reading my ramblings!
